Wish we could be there this year, Maybe next year

[Mutie Fan]

I am still not sure. We were going to make a weekend of it, booked a room weeks ago but now it looks like if I make it at all it will be on Saturday only.

I had to change my plans. I'm only there Friday and Saturday. I'm free for Friday dinner and maybe early Saturday dinner as I scheduled my flight for 10:30pm.

Worldwide Comics will be there. I'll be working the booth for them. Looking forward to my first trip to WoncerCon.

It looks as if I will not be going to Wondercon this year. I still have not found a job but you never know. Things may change soon. If they do change then I may come out with my better half for a day or two.

If anyone wants to grab lunch on Saturday, let me know. I figure I will be there for the whole day but need to head home around 6.

Holy poop! I got a job offer today and looks like I am going to get another on Monday. I may be coming to WonderCon after all. My girl wants to meet all of you.

I'm up for lunch on Saturday.

Well since it is about 20 minutes form my apartment I will be there at least one day, just to meet folks. (Consider this fair warning!)

[Joel Elad]

I'm up for lunch on Saturday as well. The Metreon next door has a food court, and there's a Mexican place (Chevy's?) in the opposite direction between the convention center and parking garage.

 

Who else is interested?

I'm maybe for Saturday lunch.

 

Friday dinner?

[seank]

Do we want to meet somewhere at some time for lunch?

 

I'm definitely going to Bourbon and Branch Saturday night. Forbidden Island in Alameda is also a good possibility, but if anyone wants to go, they'll need a car. No public transportation to there.

Thirsty Bear is IMHO the worst of the spots where we've had forum WonderCon dinners. The food was sub-par (and there wasn't enough of it, ) and the drinks just so-so. I once attended a company lunch there, and they served me three drinks in a row each with a gnat in it. Then they tried to charge me extra! (Okay, I made that last part up, but the gnats were not imaginary). The very first forum dinner, at that swanky steakhouse that Scott (FFB) picked out, over on Montgomery, was the best.

 

For excellent Chinese food three blocks from Moscone, try Henry's Hunan... there are several locations in SF (and all are great), but the one on Natoma between New Montgomery and 2nd (or is it between 2nd and 3rd?) is easy walking distance and pretty big so despite its popularity you can usually get a table pretty quickly.

 

I'll be at the 'Con again this year - it will mark the 35th anniversary since my first Bay Are 'con...I'll be lunching with the publisher of Image Comics on Sat. but will hope to bump into most of you around Marc's House of Comics booth

 

Any word from Jbud on whether he's going?

[The Brain]

Dare I ask if there is going even to be a Forum Dinner???

Not unless someone local steps up to the plate and starts organizing...

[solm4st3r]

i am on the saturday.

[seank]

For lunch, I propose we meet at the House of Comics booth at 11:30 then walk somewhere close to to the convention center. Sound good? Marc knows who many of us are and can keep us separate from the regular comic rabble.
